The agenda for these meetings, including details about the newly released proposed budget, is available on the city’s website Agenda Center. The council said this version of the budget is current as of May 8 and may be updated before final approval.
Meeting rebroadcasts will be made available later in the week to ensure public access to discussions and decisions made during these sessions. The council also outlined a schedule for additional workshops and a public hearing related to the budget process.
There are three total budget workshops planned in addition to a public hearing at the regular June council meeting. The workshops are set for May 12, May 19, and June 2. The regular City Council meeting with a public hearing on the proposed budget will take place on June 9.
These sessions provide opportunities for residents to learn more about city finances and offer feedback before final adoption of next year’s fiscal plan.
